if it is rubbing on the inside why don't you just run a spacer?

I recently got around to swapping my stock springs and dampners for GC/Koni yellows and Dinan springs. I expected the front to rub more, and it does, now over smaller bumps in the road but not the really small stuff. Now the rear also rubs under moderate compression.

The decision is this - sell them and try something else, or down size tires. The suspension is something that I definitely want on the car and I may change it over to a coil over system (GC makes components to convert the struts to coil over). Lowering any more than the minimal drop with Dinan springs may make it rub even with 245/40 and 275/35 tires.

Opinions welcomed.
